August 24, 2020


I am a Ghost Bulimulus
In Florida you can find me both near and far
I used to get around via the railroad,
But now I also travel by car.

Note: I have been finding these exotics at the St. Sebastian River Preserve State park. Recently, while doing a Scrub Jay survey, I came back to my car and found the top and bottom snails shown here on my windshield and car roof. I removed them both from my car. The next day, I came out of my house and found the middle one my garage. I assume that he was a hitchhiker that I missed.
